Shanghai, November 13-14, 2018
2McKinsey & Company
5 years ago we introduced the concept of “Bridges to
Innovation” for the China pharma industry
Broken bridgeNarrow bridgeBroad bridge1 2 3
▪ Mature drugs have lasting
staying power and continue to
grow beyond 2020
▪ China delivers meaningful and
broad step-up to reward of
innovation
▪ Mature drugs have staying
power, but come under
stronger pressure and plateau
beyond 2020
▪ China delivers meaningful but
narrow reward for innovation,
closely aligned with disease
priorities
▪ Window for mature drugs
starts closing rapidly by 2020,
earlier for some drug
categories
▪ Innovation remains heavily
constrained
▪ Self-pay market becomes
main viable segment
▪ Each potential scenario will have profound implications on market outlook and
attractiveness for participants
▪ It will take some time before we know for sure which bridge we are walking on
3McKinsey & Company
As of 2018, we are increasingly confident to say that we are progressing
on the ”narrow bridge”
Broken bridgeNarrow bridgeBroad bridge1 2 3
Uptake of innovation starting to
accelerate and showing signs of
pivot towards “broad bridge”
Mature products come under much
stronger pressure in the coming
few years - “reckoning time”?

Pace of new drug registration and regulatory authority reform not interrupted
by recent organizational changes; long term impact remains to be seen
(The NMPA) reform used
to proceed at a very fast,
even radical pace. After all
these events, we do not see
the reform going backward.
Instead, we believe it will
continue to take place, but in
a more steady and
thoughtful way. We are quite
positive on that”

GQCE is on top of mind for people;
we expect to see OSD and IV for
sure, but not biosimilars in next 3
years
Current 4+7 policy will push MNCs
out of the market, which will be
detrimental for China pharma
industry. We expect government to
make further changes along the way
QCE is a good thing for China. But
it will bring unprecedented
challenge to MNCs

Speed of innovation continues to
increases due to sustained NMPA reform
Access will continue to improve, though
shadowed by increasing price pressure
It’s the right time for innovative drugs
to enter China with improvement and
globalization of registration process
and patent protection
Access will improve, especially for
innovative drugs, but price pressure will
also increase with reimbursement
negotiation. Given China’s scale in the
global market, China prices will also
have global implications
Innovation could be commoditized due
to reimbursement price cut. Price cut
does not have a good basis now, but
we have Taiwan, Korea as reference
countries. In a few years, China will be
wave 1 launch country without
reference price
Innovation will remain as the priority
for NMPA reform, and we expect
broadening of reform area to further
support innovation

Healthcare right now needs senior
management level talent. We
needed scientists before, but now
we need senior management
talent, to translate science to
assets
Talents are also being hunted by
local biotech, and new MNCs
entering the market, both for
senior position and on the ground
sales reps
With new products entering market

Regulatory reform policies in

Top of mind questions for China biotech CEOs
▪ How to ensure high
quality in clinical
development while
progressing multiple trials
at rapid pace?
▪ How quickly will
reimbursement policies
evolve to properly reward
innovation? What types of
innovative therapies will
get reimbursed?
▪ What is the solution to
find quality talent to
sufficiently support
demand in clinical
development and
commercialization?
▪ How to create sustainable
differentiation? Will it
come from shift towards
FIC/BIC assets,
differentiated clinical
strategy or creative
commercial model?

The industry is experiencing a significant talent shortage that is expected to
persist in next 2-3 years, and calls for industry-wide solution
Number of TA physicians
SOURCE: Expert interviews
We have seen that the salaries of TA physicians and
clinical operations have increased faster than other
functions in China pharma industry in recent 2 years…
around 25-40% of salary increase when moving to the
next position with the same title
– HR of leading China based-biotechs
Potential solutions
▪ Bringing oversea TA physicians
with experience and know-how
– Potential challenges include
language barrier and
interaction with local KOLs
▪ Accelerate training of local
talent
– For example, companies can
provide rigorous training
curriculum on clinical trial
practice, and rotation talents
across trial phases to build
individual capability
▪ Industry-wide training program
– In collaboration with academic
institutions (e.g., Shenyang
Pharmaceutical University and
China Pharmaceutical
University)

Looking into the crystal ball – what is the 3-5 year future of China biotech
industry?
Positive momentum continues: Expect significant progress on the
overall innovation level, yet still with major gap compared to the US
Emerging global presence: A handful of companies and
assets will reach global stage
Market will tell: Market will be the gold standard for biotech pioneers and
the China innovation model (step wise approach, license in arbitrage,
etc.) as part of building a healthy industry
Funding cycle expected: Investment will likely be more
cautious before a bounce back as we witness the failures
and success of early pipelines
65McKinsey & Company
Looking into the crystal ball – food for thoughts for China biotechs
Double-down in
accessing and
originating highly
differentiated
innovation
Maintain a global
standard and
prepare for global
stage
Invest in fostering
organization health and
culture as a new
competitive advantage
Focus on
addressing unmet

In this context of evolving access environment, two key questions for the
biopharma industry
Do we believe 2019 will be the year of the
“reckoning” for mature brands given
convergence of new procurement rules,
pricing pressure and GQCE roll-out?
Do we believe that access is expanding fast
enough to support the wave of ~100

Leading local companies and other MNCs alike have concerns over
centralized “4+7” pilot policy, especially on quality and volume of supply
SOURCE: Press search, team analysis, expert interview
Announced purchasing rules in “4+7” cities:
– Purchasing volume guaranteed for the drug with lowest
bidding price among molecules that passed GQCE. Volume
proposed by each city is estimated based on 60-70% of last
year’s total volume
– Official reimbursement policy to be published, with the
potential to set final bidding price as reimbursement price
– 31 products selected for first batch
2
Gx substitution with reduced price is the right
direction and future trend; however, I am concerned
that companies passing QCE may not be able to
guarantee high-quality supply capacity
The current model will push MNCs out of the
market, which will be detrimental for China pharma
industry. I personally expect government to make
further adjustments along the way
Impact from

“4+7” tendering on

85McKinsey & Company
Given this, we see 3 main strategic options at brand level for MNCs
▪ Compete on Quality AND Price
▪ Ramp up supply chain capacity
▪ Expand footprint with omni channel
▪ Be more selective on prioritized
provinces/cities/hospitals
▪ Adjust price but maintain healthy
premium
▪ Gradually ramp down investments
▪ In some cases, exit market given
profitability and growth outlook
▪ In others, find a local partner to

Lack of value
proposition
to attack and
retain talents
▪ Urgent need to build
other related
capabilities such as
designer, data

▪ Shortage of talents
with deep
understanding of both
healthcare and DnA
▪ DnA talents are
struggling to find out
their value and career
paths in pharmacos
▪ Overall environment is
not empowering due to
industry conservatism
(e.g., stringent
compliance measures)
A battlefield for scarce talents with experience across healthcare/
technology; inflow of talents from other industries needed

▪ Find the root cause of constrains on
digital/analytics adoption in biopharma
industry
▪ Proactively look for breakthroughs in
controllable areas such as regulatory,
compliance
▪ Identify high potential young talents
with strong digital/analytics savviness
within healthcare industry
▪ Creating training and accreditation
programs to develop “digital/

Build appropriate
approaches to evaluate the
ROI of new business models
Develop critical internal

Digitalization emerging as an essential pillar for customer engagementHowever it has yet to fundamentally transform the industry and much more work is needed to get there
Fast emerging China innovation ecosystem With a wave of promising companies fueled by access to talents and access to capital, but still early in their development
Clear signs of acceleration in broadening of innovative drug access; much more is neededA “second-launch mindset” for optimizing commercial model is critical for companies to capture full value post reimbursement inclusion
2019 could be the “year of reckoning” for mature brandsSignificant impact expected from implementation of GQCE coupled with new tendering rules
We are on a narrow, but clearly broadening bridgeUptake of innovation starting to accelerate, while mature products will come under much stronger pressure in the coming few years 1
